Re: Rain in Tavira

The Iberian peninsula, and southern Portugal in particular, has been drying out for the last few decades.

Re: Intelsat 901 27.5w coming to the end?

I gave up on intelsat 901 a while ago and shifted my dish to a German satellite.
It's good for news channels; we get BBC news, German and French national channels in English, CNN, Al Jazeera, and a...

Re: Rain in Tavira

This has been the best week in years here on the west coast; finally, some decent rainfall.
Not enough to replenish the reservoirs, but at least we have some greenery for the moment.

Re: Any Portuguese banks pay interest on Euros?

That's a lot of tax!
Is bank interest taxed at a flat rate or as part of normal income?

Re: Online Application to Land Registry- Pedido de Certidão Permanente

Re: working in my garage today

I bought mine for 5,000 euros; a new one would cost 10-20 times that.
When I bought it, it had almost new rear tires; worth around 1,000 by themselves.
The front end loader also added a lot of...

Re: Anti Depressants

It's a ridiculous statistic.

Some countries issue prescriptions that automatically renew; so 1 prescription works for years.
In Portugal, prescription duration varies depending on the medication,...

Re: ISV on imported cars is illegal: owners deserve at least partial reimburseme

The rules do keep the second hand car prices up, whether that is the intent or not.

In addition to the registration tax, there is considerable bureaucracy involved; extra inspection and the car...

Re: ISV on imported cars is illegal: owners deserve at least partial reimburseme

SUV type of vehicles face a heavy duty punitive pollution tax here, so I think you have to put them into a different category.

My 26 year old Mercedes coupe has no rust at all and runs like new,...

Re: ISV on imported cars is illegal: owners deserve at least partial reimburseme

Everything second hand in Portugal is expensive compared to other places.
I think it's due to more people looking for bargains.

I know for tools (I have a tool fetish) the asking prices are...

Re: processionary caterpillars

That's correct; the lab techs all went home to their families for Chinese new year, the eggs hatched, and the hairy little murderers made a run for it, moving in procession at 0.5 kmh.

Re: processionary caterpillars

Many people cut off the nests and bury or burn them; of course it depends on your ability to reach them.
Also, it seems a bit dangerous to me, but I guess it's ok so long as you're careful.
